Too often, gluten-free diet information focuses only on things you cannot have. With this intense focus on what to avoid, the message about what of the many gluten-free foods you can—and should—eat for good health often gets lost. The most nutritious gluten-free diet is one based around healthy, gluten-free, whole foods, such as vegetables, fruit, beans, grains, nuts, seeds, lean meats, poultry, and fish. Over-reliance on heavily processed, convenience foods can result in a diet that lacks important nutrients, including B vitamins, iron, calcium, and fiber, for good health.

FOOD: Vegetables

KEY NUTRIENTS: Fiber, vitamin C, minerals, and plant ("phyto") nutrients such as beta-carotene and other carotenes, flavonoids, and antioxidants

HOW MUCH: One 1-ounce serving of nuts or seeds, 3 to 7 times per week; include a variety of types such as walnuts, almonds, pecans, cashews, and Brazil nuts; sesame, pumpkin, and flax seeds; and others

FOOD: Gluten-free packaged and convenience foods**

KEY NUTRIENTS: Avoid the many gluten-free convenience foods that contain little fiber and few vitamins, minerals, or other important nutrients; some are fortified with folate, other vitamins, or fiber; many are high in sugar, fat, and empty calories

HEALTH BENEFIT: Only fortified gluten-free convenience foods are likely to offer measurable health benefit; gluten-free packaged and convenience foods often do not offer balanced nutrition and should be used only occasionally or as a special treat

HOW MUCH: Maximum of 3 times per week

WATCH OUT FOR: Products that are labeled wheat-free but still may contain gluten; seek out gluten-free labeled foods only
